Major Winning Trio Set for Genesis Scottish Open
PGA Tour - DP World Tour
Seoul, Korea - The Renaissance Club will once again be the focal point of the golfing world as it hosts the prestigious Genesis Scottish Open from July 10-13. This year, the event boasts an extraordinary lineup featuring major champions Matt Fitzpatrick, Collin Morikawa, and Justin Thomas. These stellar athletes are set to join a field peppered with notable names including the defending champion Robert MacIntyre, Justin Rose, Max Homa, and Byeong Hun An, with additional global stars yet to be announced.
Collin Morikawa, a two-time major winner and 2021 Race to Dubai champion, returns to the Scottish Open with fond memories and high hopes. After finishing tied fourth last year, Morikawa is eager to return to the links where he previously triumphed. “The Scottish Open is always a special event for me, particularly after my memorable 2021 season,” Morikawa shared. His recent performances, including two runner-up finishes this season, have him poised for a strong showing in Scotland.
Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick, who secured his first major at the 2022 U.S. Open and is fresh off a victory at the 2023 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, is making his 12th consecutive appearance at the event. Fitzpatrick, who nearly clinched the title in a dramatic three-way playoff in 2021, expressed his anticipation for the tournament. “Returning to Scotland, where I’ve had recent success, always feels like a homecoming. I’m looking forward to competing in this illustrious tournament once again,” said Fitzpatrick.
Justin Thomas, a double major champion and 15-time PGA TOUR winner, also cherishes his returns to Scotland, where he started his professional career. “My journey began here, and it feels like coming full circle every time I participate in the Scottish Open,” Thomas remarked. With a solid track record at this event, including multiple top-ten finishes, Thomas is another strong contender.
The Genesis Scottish Open, a highlight on both the DP World Tour and PGA TOUR calendars, continues to draw elite players and golf enthusiasts worldwide. As the tournament prepares for another thrilling edition, it remains a pivotal fixture leading up to The Open, bolstered by the support of the Scottish Government and VisitScotland.
Adding to the excitement, the tournament will feature the 'Fringe by the Tee' pop-up stage, aligning with the Fringe by the Sea festival and headlined by KT Tunstall, enhancing the fan experience beyond the golfing action.
